Knicks to add former Lakers champ Sasha Vujacic
The New York Knicks have reached agreement on a one-year deal with free
agent guard Sasha Vujacic.
Vujacic has played over six of his eight NBA seasons with the Los Angeles Lakers, from 2004 to 2011. He spent five of those seasons playing under Knicks president and then-Lakers head coach Phil Jackson, and four playing alongside Knicks coach Derek Fisher, who played point guard for the Lakers. Vujacic, 31, has played overseas for much of the past four seasons. He had an NBA stint during that stretch in 2013-14, when he signed a 10-day deal with the Los Angeles Clippers in 2014, making two appearances for the team before returning to Europe. Vujacic could give the Knicks a needed threat from the perimeter.He is a career 37.1 percent 3-point shooter in the NBA. Vujacic is also familiar with the Knicks' triangle offense thanks to his time in Los Angeles. So he could help the Knicks' younger players adapt to the system.
